Ezekiyel 44
1 Sai mutumin ya komo da ni zuwa ƙofar waje na wuri mai tsarki, wadda take fuskantar gabas, tana kuwa a rufe.
Then he brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which looks toward the east; and it was shut.
2 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Wannan ƙofar za tă kasance a rufe. Ba za a buɗe ta ba; ba wanda zai shiga ta wurinta. Za tă kasance a rufe domin Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya shiga ta wurinta.
The LORD said to me, “This gate shall be shut. It shall not be opened, no man shall enter in by it; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has entered in by it. Therefore it shall be shut.
3 Sarki kansa ne kaɗai zai zauna a hanyar shiga don yă ci a gaban Ubangiji. Zai shiga ta hanyar shirayin hanyar shiga yă kuma fita a wannan hanya.”
As for the prince, he shall sit in it as prince to eat bread before the LORD. He shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate, and shall go out the same way.”
4 Sa’an nan mutumin ya kawo ni ta hanyar ƙofar arewa zuwa gaban haikali. Na duba na kuma ga ɗaukakar Ubangiji tana cika haikalin Ubangiji, sai na fāɗi rubda ciki.
Then he brought me by the way of the north gate before the house; and I looked, and behold, the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house; so I fell on my face.
5 Ubangiji ya ce mini, “Ɗan mutum, ka lura sosai, ka saurara sosai ka kuma mai da hankali ga kome da na faɗa maka game da dukan ƙa’idodi game da haikalin Ubangiji. Ka lura sosai da ƙofar shigar haikali da kuma dukan ƙofofin wuri mai tsarki.
The LORD said to me, “Son of man, mark well, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I tell you concerning all the ordinances of the LORD’s house and all its laws; and mark well the entrance of the house, with every exit of the sanctuary.
6 Faɗa wa’yan tawayen gidan Isra’ila, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ayyukan banƙyamarku sun isa haka, ya gidan Isra’ila!
You shall tell the rebellious, even the house of Israel, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You house of Israel, let that be enough of all your abominations,
7 Ban da dukan sauran ayyukanku na banƙyama, kun kawo baƙi marasa kaciya a zuciya da jiki a wurina mai tsarki, kun kuma ƙazantar da haikalina yayinda kuke miƙa mini abinci, kitse da kuma jini, kun kuma karya alkawarina.
in that you have brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to profane it, even my house, when you offer my bread, the fat and the blood; and they have broken my covenant, to add to all your abominations.
8 A maimakon yin ayyukanku bisa ga abubuwana masu tsarki, kun sa waɗansu su lura da wurina mai tsarki.
You have not performed the duty of my holy things; but you have set performers of my duty in my sanctuary for yourselves.”
9 Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka yana cewa ba baƙo marar kaciya a zuciya da jiki da zai shiga wurina mai tsarki, kai, har ma da baƙin da suke zama a cikin Isra’ila.
The Lord GOD says, “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners who are among the children of Israel.
10 “‘Lawiyawan da suka yi nesa da ni sa’ad da Isra’ila suka kauce da kuma waɗanda suka karkata daga gare ni suka bi gumakansu, dole su ɗauki alhakin zunubinsu.
“‘“But the Levites who went far from me when Israel went astray, who went astray from me after their idols, they will bear their iniquity.
11 Za su iya yin hidima a wurina mai tsarki, suna lura da ƙofofin haikali suna kuma hidima a cikinsu; za su iya yankan hadayun ƙonawa da sadaka don mutane su kuma tsaya a gaban mutane su yi musu hidima.
Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house. They shall kill the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
12 Amma domin sun yi musu hidima a gaban gumakansu suka sa gidan Isra’ila ya yi zunubi, saboda haka na ɗaga hannu na rantse cewa dole su ɗauki alhakin zunubinsu, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
Because they ministered to them before their idols, and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them,” says the Lord GOD, “and they will bear their iniquity.
13 Ba za su yi kusa don su yi hidima kamar firistoci ko su zo kusa da abubuwana masu tsarki ko hadayuna mafi tsarki ba; dole su sha kunya saboda ayyukansu na banƙyama.
They shall not come near to me, to execute the office of priest to me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.
14 Duk da haka zan sa su su lura da ayyukan haikali da kuma dukan ayyukan da za a yi a cikinsa.
Yet I will make them performers of the duty of the house, for all its service and for all that will be done therein.
15 “‘Amma firistoci, waɗanda suke Lawiyawa kuma zuriyar Zadok waɗanda suka yi aminci ta wurin yin ayyukansu a wurina mai tsarki sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka kauce daga gare ni, su ne za su zo kusa don hidima a gabana; za su tsaya a gabana don miƙa hadayun kitse da jini, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
“‘“But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who performed the duty of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, shall come near to me to minister to me. They shall stand before me to offer to me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord GOD.
16 Su ne kaɗai za su shiga wurina mai tsarki; su ne kaɗai za su zo kusa da teburina don yin hidima a gabana su kuma yi hidimata.
“They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister to me, and they shall keep my instruction.
17 “‘Sa’ad da suka shiga ƙofofin fili na can ciki, dole su sa tufafin lilin; kada su sa wani rigar da aka yi da ulu yayinda suke hidima a ƙofofin fili na can ciki da cikin haikali.
“‘“It will be that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments. No wool shall come on them while they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
18 Za su naɗa rawunan lilin a kawunansu, su kuma sa wandunan lilin. Kada su sa wani abin da zai sa su yi zuffa.
They shall have linen turbans on their heads, and shall have linen trousers on their waists. They shall not clothe themselves with anything that makes them sweat.
19 Sa’ad da suka fita daga haikali zuwa fili na waje inda mutane suke, sai su tuɓe rigunan da suka yi hidima da su su bar su a tsarkakan ɗakuna, su sa waɗansu riguna, don kada su tsarkake mutane ta wurin rigunansu.
When they go out into the outer court, even into the outer court to the people, they shall put off their garments in which they minister and lay them in the holy rooms. They shall put on other garments, that they not sanctify the people with their garments.
20 “‘Ba za su aske kawunansu ko su bar gashin kansu ya yi tsayi ba, amma sai su sausaye gashin kansu.
“‘“They shall not shave their heads, or allow their locks to grow long. They shall only cut off the hair of their heads.
21 Kada firist ya sha ruwan inabi sa’ad da zai shiga fili na can ciki.
None of the priests shall drink wine when they enter into the inner court.
22 Kada su auri gwauruwa ko macen da aka sāke; za su auri budurwai ne kaɗai na Isra’ilawa ko gwaurayen firistoci.
They shall not take for their wives a widow, or her who is put away; but they shall take virgins of the offspring of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
23 Za su koyar da mutanena bambanci tsakanin tsarki da rashin tsarki su kuma nuna musu yadda za su bambanta marar tsarki da mai tsarki.
They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
24 “‘A duk wani rashin jituwa, firistoci za su zama alƙalai su kuma yanke magana bisa ga farillaina. Za su kiyaye dokokina da ƙa’idodina a dukan ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwana, su kuma kiyaye Asabbataina da tsarki.
“‘“In a controversy they shall stand to judge. They shall judge it according to my ordinances. They shall keep my laws and my statutes in all my appointed feasts. They shall make my Sabbaths holy.
25 “‘Firist ba zai ƙazantar da kansa ta wurin zuwa kusa da gawa ba; amma, in gawar mahaifinsa ko mahaifiyarsa, ko ɗansa ko’yarsa, ko ɗan’uwansa ko’yar’uwarsa ce, to, ba zai ƙazantar da kansa ba.
“‘“They shall go in to no dead person to defile themselves; but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister who has had no husband, they may defile themselves.
26 Bayan ya tsarkaka, dole yă jira har kwana bakwai.
After he is cleansed, they shall reckon to him seven days.
27 A ranar da ya shiga fili na can ciki na wuri mai tsarki don hidima a wuri mai tsarki, zai miƙa hadaya don zunubi saboda kansa, in ji Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka.
In the day that he goes into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,” says the Lord GOD.
28 “‘Ni ne kaɗai zan zama abin gādon da firistoci za su kasance da shi. Kada ka ba su wani mallaka a Isra’ila; zan zama mallakarsu.
“‘They shall have an inheritance: I am their inheritance; and you shall give them no possession in Israel. I am their possession.
29 Za su ci hadaya ta gari, hadaya don zunubi da hadaya don laifi; da kuma kowane keɓaɓɓen abu a Isra’ila da za a ba wa Ubangiji zai zama nasu.
They shall eat the meal offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; and every devoted thing in Israel shall be theirs.
30 Mafi kyau na nunan farinku da kuma dukan kyautanku na musamman za su zama na firistoci. Za ku ba su rabo na fari na ɓarzajjen hatsinku saboda albarka ta kasance a gidanku.
The first of all the first fruits of every thing, and every offering of everything, of all your offerings, shall be for the priest. You shall also give to the priests the first of your dough, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
31 Firistoci ba za su ci mushen tsuntsu ko na dabba ba, ba kuwa za su ci waɗanda namun jeji suka kashe ba.
The priests shall not eat of anything that dies of itself or is torn, whether it is bird or animal.
